# Mike Moraitis: Moraitis argues that Joey Porter Jr. instantly becomes Dallas' best cornerback upon debuting, and that Texans receiver Nico Collins will return to the lineup for the Week 4 matchup. **Claimed:** Oct 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Moraitis — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-moraitis **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/will-joey-porter-jr-be-on-snap-count-dallas-cowboys-debut-houston-texans 2 checkable claims — 1 availability call and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Porter immediately becomes the Cowboys' best cornerback given his history of borderline elite play at the cornerback position. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Joey Porter Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Joey Porter Jr., Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **They have done that despite No. 1 wide receiver Nico Collins missing two games.
